In a “SIDEBAR" story the Tri-
bune in a 1 a.m. dispatch wrote:
"The streets in the vicinity of
Ford’s Theatre are densely crowd-
ed by an anxious and excited
crowd. A guard has been placed
across Tenth street and F and E
streets and only official persons
and particular friends of the Presi-
dent are allowed to pass.
"The populace is deeply stirred,
and the deepest indignation against
leading rebels is freely expressed.
"The scene at the house where
the president lies in extremis is
very affecting. Even Secretary
Stanton is affected to tears. . . .
When the news spread through
the city that the president was
shot, the people with pale faces
and compressed lips crowded ev-
ery place where there was the
slightest chance of obtaining in-
formation in regard to the affair.”

AN EARLY DISPATCH FROM
the war department, Secretary
Stanton wrapped up details as .well
as they were known at the time:
This evening at 9:30 p.m at
Ford’s Theatre, the President,
while sitting in his private box with
Mrs. Lincoln, Mrs. Harris and Ma-
jor Rathbum, was shot by an as-
sassin who suddenly entered the
box and approached behind the
president.
“The assassin then leaped upon
the stage, brandishing a large dag-
ger of a knife, and made his
escape in the rear of the theatre.
“The pistol ball entered the back
of the president’s head, and pen-
etrated nearly through the head.
The wound is mortal. The presi-
dent has been insensible ever
since it was inflicted and is now
dying.
“About the same hour an as-
sassin, whether the same or ntit,
entered Mr. Seward’s apartments,
and under pretense of having a
prescription was shown to the Sec-
retary’s sick chamber. The assas-
sin immediately rushed to the bed
and inflicted two or three stabs
on the throat and two on the
face.
“It is hoped the wounds may
not be mortal. My apprension is
that they will prove fatal.
“The nurse alarmed Mr. Fend-
rick Seward, who was in an ad-
joining room, and he hastened to
the door of his father’s room,
where he met the assassin, who
inflicted upon him one or more
dangerous wounds. The recovery
of Fendrick Seward is doubtful.
“It is not probable that the presi-
dent will live through the night.”
“General Grant and wife were
advertised to be at the theatre
this evening, but he started to
Burlington at six o'clock this even-
ing.
“At a cabinet meeting,at which
General Grant was present, the
subject of the state of the country
and the prospect of a speedy peace
was discussed. The president was
very cheerful and hopeful and
spoke very kindly of General Lee
and others of the confederacy, and
of the establishment of govern -
ment in Virginia.
“All the members of the cab-
inet except Mr. Seward are now
in attendance upon the president.
“I have seen Mr. Seward, but
he and Fendrick were both un-
conscious.
Edwin M. Stanton,
Secretary of War
THE NEWSPAPER ALSO CAR-
ried civil war battle details which
were apparently several weeks
old under the heading of “The
Rebels.”
Other headlines, as big as those
concerning Lincoln, sketched the
story:
Jeff Davis at Danville. . His lat-
est appeal to his deluded followers
. . .He thinks the fall of Richmond
a blessing is disguise as it leaves
the rebel armies free to move
from point to point. . .Lee and his
army supposed, to be safe. . . .
Breckenndge and the rest of Davis
cabinet reach Danville safely.”,
f
JACKSON DISPLAYED HIS His-
torical find to friends. He dSdn’t
know what disposition the family
will make of the 96-year-old edi-
tion, which details the closing
months of the Civil War. A four-
year centennial observance of the
war started this year, and will
conclude on the anniversary of the
concluding of the conflict.
$325 In damages
in city accident
Two cars sustained an estimat-
ed $335 in damages in an accident
reported to police at 3:07 p.m.
Tuesday.
A 1958 Chevrolet driven by E. C.
Stewart, 1006 ltth St., was going
north on Ave. F when it was struck
by a 1961 Chevrolet pickup driven
by James Alton Logsdon, 807 17th
St. Logsdon was going west on
9th St., when he struck the Stew-
art vehicle on the right rear fen-
der.
Damages to the Stewart car were
estimated at $200 while the Logsdon
pickup sustained approximately
$125 damage. Stewart was issued
a ticket for failure to yield right
of way.
Last rites held

Requiem mass and funeral ser-
vices were held for Mrs. Pauline
Garxa, 54, at 10 a.m, Wednesday,
at St. Michael’s Catholic Church.

pital after a three week illness.

generations td come. Our failure
to win that war was a major dis-
aster for the free world.
“Its fatal consequences are now
increasingly being felt in the mili-
tary rise of Red China into a
mighty colossus which threatens
all of Asia and bids fair to
emerge as the balance of mili-
tary power in the world. This
would jeopardize freedom >n all
continents.”
Before his speech to Congress,
MacArthur lunched with more
than 2.500 of his Filipino World
War II comrades and received
another affectionate outpouring
from the men who had served
in the battered, tittered units on
Corregidor and Bataan and those
who had taken to the hills to fight
as guerrillos against *he Japa-
nese.
Israel fires successful rocket
JERUSALEM (AP) - Israel
fired Ks first successful rocket
into space today, the government
announced.
Hie rocket, a meteorological
type, was fired from a secret in-
stallation on the Mediterranean.
The government said the firing
was a “complete success.”
The complete government com-
munique announced:
“At 4:41 a.m. todav a success-
ful attempt was made to send a
meteorological rocket into space
from the Mediterranean shore.
The rocket was planned, built end
fired by e crew of Israeli scien-
tists and technicians. The pur-
poses of the experiment were
achieved.”
Government spokesmen said the
firing was witnessed by Premier
David Ben-Gurion and other of-

As to the reason for the stab-
bings, Webb, manager of an auto
appliance store, said, “If you’ve
ever been in a fight, you know
what I mean. Thirty minutes
after the fight you’re sorry for
what you thought.”
Also, said the mayor, ‘he is
a headstrong little rascal. He
was telling the detectives what
to do and what not to do. He is
no weakling mentally.”
County Attorney Earl Conner
said the arrested youth led offi-
cers to a bronze flowerpot,
missing clue in the bizarre case.
The pot was used to crush Mrs.
Hussey’s head.
The youth’s mother said he
suffered from migraine head-
aches and took more than a
normal dose of medicine Tues-
day. She spent most of the after-
noon with her son at the police
station.
Police questioned the boy about
six hours and took him to nearby
Eastland at 10 p.m. for more
interrogation.
The youth, who has operated
a fireworks stand since the slay-
ing, completed his sophomore
year at Cisco High School in
May.
Companions said he never went
out with girts, seldom talked and
“just wanted to be left alone.”
The boy is about 5 feet, eight
inches tall.
“I couldn’t believe it,” ex-
claimed a teen-age boy.
“He was cute but didn't like
girls,” a pretty co-ed added.
The boy was a member of the
same Baptist church as Mrs.
Hussey, but he did not attend
services regularly, another teen-
ager said.
For some unexplained reason,
the boy had been sleeping nights
in a shack behind his home. An
older sister, a freshman at Cisco
Junior College, said her brother
moved back into the house after
the slaying.
Mayor John Webb had tele-
phoned Fort Worth Police Chief
Cato Hightower, asking for help,
and the four Fort Worth officers
were sent.
Rev. Mr. Cassle, puzzled by
Mrs. Hussey’s absence from
work, found the body n the
hallway of her house. Bloody
footprints were found near the
room, where officers said Mrs.
Hussey apparently was first as-
saulted.

Hie purpose of the experiment
was to obtain information on con-

Moscow broadcasts
10-month-old news
LONDON (AP) — Moscow radio
today broadcast four 10-month-
old news items, including a report
of Soviet Premier Khrushchev’s
arrival in Finland.
While Khrushchev slept in his
Moscow bed, an early morning
newscast told of his welcome to
Finland by President Urho Kek-
konan. The visit was last Septem-
ber.
The newscast Included three
other September news items.
U.N. Secretary - General Dag
Hammarskiold welcoming news
that Khrushchev would attend the
General Assembly; the arrest of
Congolese political leader Jean
Bolikango, * and the winning of
gold medals by Soviet athletes at
the Rome Olympics.
“It looks as though someone
picked up an old file tape by mis-
take,” said an official at the Bri-
ish Broadcasting Corporation’s
monitoring station. “I understand
it has happened once before.”
Levelland visit
set by Tech staff
LUBBOCK (Spl.) - Summer
used to be a quiet time for college
football coaches, hut Texas Tech’s
staff has been far from idle.
Besides performing the usual
chores of grading game and prac-
tice films, the Red Raider coa-
ches are visiting Red Raider dubs
(organizations helping furnish ath-
letic scholarships) throughout West
Texas and eastern New Mexico.
To introduce Texas Tech’s new
staff, the Red Raiders’ executive
vice president, Leete Jackson,
lined up an itinerary that will re-
sult in some 10,000 man • miles
being traveled by mid-July.
On the schedule are Hobbs, N.
M„ Midland, Abilene, Muleshoe,
Amarillo, Brownfield, Levelland,
Slaton, and Abernathy. Farthest
trip has been to Abilene, some 160
miles from Lubbock.
Coaches and local Red Raider
officials generally play golf toget
her in the afternoon. At a dinner
in the evenings Red Raider Presi-
dent Bob Walker or Jackson in-
troduces the staff, and Athletic
Director Polk Robison and Foot'
ball Coach J. T .King speak on
the Texas Tech athletic program.
King, named head football coach
last winter has signed a staff in-
cluding John Conley, formerly at
Snyder High School; Merrill Green
from University of Arkansas; Berl
Huffman, from private industry at

ketball coach, and Don Sparks,
track coach, usually are among
the visitors.
lant fuel developed in Israel.
Shavitt II ie multi-ftaged, but
official sourcea declined to say
exactly how many atagea it has.
It weights from 550 to 860
pounds and is capable of reaching
a maximum altitude of 50 to 80
miles.
The final stage of the rocket ex-
ploded a cloud of sodium at its
maximum height, enabling scien-
tists to determine prevaling con-
ditions at that altitude.
Spokesmen said the rocket did
not contain radio transmitting
equipment.
Israel is the seventh country to
send a meteorological rocket into
space. The others are th^ United
States, the Soviet Union, France,
Britain, Italy and Japan.
None of the Arab countries are
believed near a similar stage in
technology. Reaction from them
is sure to be critical, since they
regard themselves at war with
Israel.
